Convenient Stay

ample spacefloor heatingconvenient location
The space was ample and it had floor heating. The location IS close to everything, a definite plus. I would consider staying again due to the convenient location and the room's layout.
The shower temperature fluctuated. You could hear footsteps from other people in the building. It was somewhat expensive considering these minor inconveniences.

The walls felt thin. I could hear every little noise from other rooms, it was quite distractive. also, the shower's temperature was soo inconsistent. it fluctuated between hot and cold, it was a little annoying. parking was a HUGE hassle. I spent ages looking for a spot.
